Default Stupid question. How do I access this menu?

<center><img src="http://tinypic.com/inz4hx.jpg"></center><p>Saw this pic on fourtitude. I don't recall ever seeing this on my car and I can't figure out how to bring it up. Like the poster of this pic, I have a 2005.5 Avant with premium, lighting, cold weather package and a color MFI.

To get to this menu just press the button once on the stock which you use to reset the computers (average mpg and such). From here you can scroll through everything.

Thanks. I _thought_ I tried that, but I'll give it another go

When you press the button on the bottom of the wiper control you will cycle thought the trip computer 1, trip computer 2 and then the menu. You should see a 1 or a 2 near the current display. Say, you're looking at the distance travelled...you should see a white 1 or 2 on a red background to the right of the info displayed. When you press the button it should go to the next one. Eventually you'll get to the menu.

Default That's not how it works on my B7.

On my B6, momentarily pressing the reset button (on the bottom of the stalk) cycled through computer 1, computer 2, and off. Each of the two computers could be paged through separately by the rocker control at the end of the stalk.

But on my B7 (05.5 w/ color display) all the computer 1 and computer 2 counters are in a single "mode," and you just page through the entire set with the rocker. Contrary to what the manual says, the reset button doesn't switch between the computers -- it just turns the menu on and off or, if you hold it down, clears the currently-selected computer.

Actually, I preferred the way the switch worked on the B6.

Default I miss the B6 mode as well. Blackout mode was nice at night.

The manual gives different instructions (like MPR stated), but mine works like cpurick's
